On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

The Constitution was drawn up in 1787. It took 132 years, 11 months, and 17 days to grant women the right to vote (19th Amendment). So, if you believe that, in the next 2 years, the Dems will unscrew everything Trump has screwed up ... You might wanna adjust your timeline and expectations.

“the FBI has lowered its hiring standards by dropping automatic disqualification for applicants who have stolen from employers, paid for sex, or engaged in bestiality,” open.substack.com/pub/heatherd...

Kash Patel is not going to like this post
At exactly 9:30 this morning, the director of the FBI, Kash Patel, stood in front of photojournalists, members of Congress, and their staff, wearing a deep blue suit with a delicate pastel pink tie. With his right hand held up high and his left hand clenched tight at his thigh, he pledged “to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.” Minutes later, he was defending his department’s decision to remove bestiality as an automatic disqualification for employment with the FBI, making it possible for applicants who engaged in repulsive acts with an animal to still be eligible to join the most powerful law enforcement agency in the country.
